Center For Human Services

Our Mission

The Mission of Center for Human Services is to change lives and build futures through programs that strengthen and support youth and families.CHS was founded in 1970 as Headrest, a substance abuse street outreach program for youth in Stanislaus County. Fifty-two years later, we continue to partner with city/county agencies, schools, non-profits and community groups to serve children, youth and adults throughout Stanislaus County. CHS has adopted a decentralized, community centered service delivery model and routinely works with partners to design and implement targeted services that honor each community’s unique and diverse needs.
